Welcome to our Critical Literacy Blog. Moving beyond the traditional English class, we learn how to use literacy to resist oppression and fight for justice in our communities. To this end, the texts we investigate will always give us insight into how we might work toward this goal.

Critical or Just More Patriarchy
Using the link provided to you below, watch the video Kardaryl recommended to the class by Timothy de la Getto. As you watch, think about the following questions and answer them in your post:
1) How is he addressing the effects of patriarchy in his rap?
2) How does he also reinforce patriarchy? What are the limits or short-comings of his argument?
3) Why does he put it all on young women and our individual choices to believe the media? Do you agree with this, or disagree with it? Who is more responsible for the damage that media does to young women's self-esteem, the media, or young women?
